That's why all Lexus dealers now have Vehicle Delivery and/or Vehicle Technology Specialist to integrate you the consumer into your new car, as well as maintain a relationship during the duration of vehicle ownership by assisting your questions and inquiries.

Some Lexus dealers go as far as offering a class at their dealer to show exactly how the Navigation or Enform work

The speedo is nice and the center display works great in PARK. Knowing Lexus, it's going to be a total lockout as soon as you shift out of park.

Some manufactures allow use while vehicle is in motion and others do not as a safety precaution. If you don't like it there are so aftermarket bypass units that simulate that the car is in park.

Couldn't agree more. That technology is way too complex for a Cadillac, considering their average age buyer is like 65.

A few years ago before Buick reinvented themselves, they held the title for average of oldest aged buyer: 70
